MONEY-VALUE INDICATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 3, 1921.

Application filed April 26, 1917. Serial No. 164,606.

To all to hem it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY Rorrwnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Seattle, county of King, State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in MoneyValue Indicators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to machines for use in making up pay-rolls, or other similar uses. It is particularly useful in ascertaining the number of coins or bills to be drawn from the bank in preparation for the payment of a number of employees drawing different wages.

The object of my invention is to devise a machine of the nature generally described above, which will be mechanically simple and of sutlicient mechanical strength to stand the wear incident to such machine.

In making up pay-roiis for large number of employees, drawing wages of 0nd dollars and cents, itis a diflicult problem to ascertain the exact number of the different denominations of money values requirel to maize these payments and at the same time have the exact change for each one.

By the use of my invention as embodied in the following description of the attached drawings, this diiiiculty is wholly overcome and after the machine has been operated, as hereinafter explained, in accordance with the iigures representing the wages of each individual, the total number of the different denominations of money appears upon the face of the machine in accessible form.

The accompanying drawings, forming a part of the specification, illustrate one embodiment of my invention in the form of a machine which I have constructed and operated.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a front plan .view with one of the dials shown partially in section;

Fig. 18 shows a fragmentary front view with the numbers appearing as the machine is set.

Referring to the drawings, 1 will describe in detail the machine represented thereby, merely to show one vention, and it is, of course, understood that my invention is not limited to the machine as shown in the drawings. The machine as shown embodies a shaft 1 having mounted thereon the indicators 2 to 11. Each of these indicators has a plurality of wheels 12, 13 and 14, (Fig. 5) representing units, tens and hundreds. These numbers are, of course, visible through. a suitable opening in the front of the casing 146. The motor operated shaft 15 has a plurality of arms 16 to 31. Some of these arms are'single, as shown in Fig. 2, and others are double, as shown in Fig. 12.

Mounted on the shaft 1, with the indicators, are a number of arms 82 to 4'?, inclusive. Each of these arms is arranged so that when the shaft 15 is revolved, at least one of the arms 16 to 31 will come in contact with each one of the arms 32 to 47. Each of the arms 82 to 47 is loosely mounted on the shaft 1, and each of these arms 32 to 47 has a spring 48 attached thereto and nor-. mally holding the arm in the position shown by the arm 40 in Fig. 2. The arms 16 to 11 are mounted on the shaft 15 at an angle to each other so as to make the load on the motor more uniform, but since the motor operates through a speed reduction worm, it is evident that the arms 16 to 31 may be placed at any desired angle with respect to each other.

i Byreference to Fig. 2, it will be seen that embodiment of the ini the arm 40 has a shoulder 49 on the underside thereof. There is a dog 50 mounted on the shaft 1 so as to move concentrically with the arm 40 and the indicator wheels. This arrangement is shown more in detail in Fig. 6. Each of the arms 32 to 47 has a dog 50 arranged in the same manner as shown in Fig. 2 and a description of one will be sufficient for all.

, In Fig. 2 is shown an electro-magnet 51. This magnet, when energized, moves a pusharm 52 against the dog 50, thereby throwing the same in behind the shoulde- 49 on the arm 40. This push-arm has a shoulder 53 thereon. There is a dog 54 mounted on the shaft 55 and held against the push-arm by spring 56. When the magnet moves the push-arm so as to throw the dog 50 1n behind the shoulder 49 on the arm 40, the dog 54 likewise moves in behind the shoulder 53 on the push-arm and holds the push-arm in against the tension of the compression spring 57 so as to keep the dog 50 in engagement with the shoulder 49. The dogs 54 are loosely mounted on the shaft 55, but each one has a radial groove 135 in the hu thereof. (See Fig. 10.) Through this groove extends a pin 136 fastened in the shaft 55. The groove is wider than the pin so that a certain amount of lost motion exists between the dog 54 and the shaft 55. Mounted so as to move concentrically with the indicator wheel is an actuating pawl 58 for the unit wheel indicator. This pawl is mounted so as to move concentrically with the wheel and is arranged to move the wheel forward one step each time it is actuated. Attached to the mounting of the dog 58 is a coil spring 116 which acts to return it to its initial position. The above features of the indicator are old and form no part of the present invention and therefore further detail description is unnecessary.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the movement of the arm 40 will cause the counter wheel to move forward one step provided the push-arm 52 has thrown the dog 50 into position. The electro-rnagnets are selectively operated by means of certain electrical connections which are set up through the instrumentality of the dials shown in Fig. 3 and will be described in detail hereinafter.

From an inspection of Fig. 4 showing the electrical circuits in diagram, it will be seen that there are sixteen electro-ma 'nets 51 117-131, inclusive. All of these magnets and their mechanical arrangement are iden tical and therefore a description of one is sufficient. These magnets are all connected to the common wire 59. There is a wire leading from each magnet to a contact 60, 61, c2, 64, c5, 66, e7, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 7e, 74. and 75. There are also two common contacts 76 and 77 connected together by wire 78 leading to the other side of the supply I line. All of the contacts 60 to 77 are mounted on a piece of insulating material 79 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This contact bar 79 is loosely mounted so that it is moved up and down by the arm 80 when operated by the button and rod 81 (Fig. 2). The contacts mounted on the bar 79 are of the type such that the contacting portion is resiliently mounted so as to account for any irregularities in the contacting surfaces.

Each of the dials 140 and 141 has on its face, and near its circumference, a series of numbers from 1 to 100. As indicated in Fig. 1, the numbers on the cents dial are numbered from- 1 to 100 consecutively in a counterclockwise direction beginning at the bottom, whereas the dollar wheel is numbered from 1- to 100 consecutivel counterclockwise, beginning at the top. ach of the dials has on its circumference a series of notches. These notches are spaced a distance equal to the distance between the numbers on the face of the dial. Arranged to engage in these notches is a dog 143 on the cents dial and 142 on the dollar dial, these 1 being actuated by coil springs 144, as

uogs shown in Fig. 1. These dogs make it easy .to get the correct position of the desired number which appears beneath a glass which covers an opening 145 in the casing 146, as shown in Fig. 13. They also hold the dials in position while the contacts are being made. It is understood that in the movement of the dials by the handles 138 and 139, they are usually moved to the right, but since the numbers are read on the righthand side of the center of the dollar-wheel and the left-hand side of the center of the cents wheel, the arrangement of the numbers on the circumference, as well as the contacts, underneath will be made in accordance with the arrangement above specified. It is, of course, evident that the wheels may be readily turned to the left, and frequently are, when in moving them one way, the number uesired is overrun... The pawls 142 and 143 permit the movement of the wheel as well in one direction as in the other.

In Fig. 3 are shown the denomination dials 140 and 141. The dial on the left of the figure represents values below a dollar is called thecents dial, and the dial on the right represents values above a dollar, and is called the dollars dial. Each of these dials has a plurality of rows of contacts all arranged concentrically. Each row or circle of contacts represents one denomination of cents or dollars as the case may be. For instance, on the cents dial, Fig. 3, the ring 76 designates a common contact connected to one side of the line. The "circle of contacts designated at 67 represents the 50 denomination. The one designated at 66 represents the 25 denomination. The one designated at represents one 10 denomination. The one designated at 64, designates another 10 denomination, and the one designated at 63, represents the 5 denomination. 62 represents two 1 denominations and 61 represents two 1 denominations, and 60 represents the single 1 denomination. Likewise, in the dollar dial, 77 represents the common contact. 75 represents $40; 74 likewise represents $40; 73 represents $20; 72 represents $10; 71 represents $5; represents $2; 69 represents $2 and 68 represents $1. Each circle of contacts is arranged to remain at all times above one of the corresponding contacts shown in Fig. 4. The contacts are so arranged in each of the rows that they engage the corresponding contact on the contact bar 79 only at certain predetermined times or positions. For instance, as the dials are shown in Fig. 3, the contacts on the bar 79 will engage the contacts 77, 74, 73, 72, 71 and 68, which contacts, respectively, represent common, $40, $20, $10, $5, $1, making a total of $76.

On the cents wheel, the contacts on the bar 79 engage 76, 67, 66 and 60, representing respectively common, 50, 25 and 1, making a total of 76. It will be seen from this that the contact rows 75, 70 and 69 on the dollar dial are not in engagement with the corresponding contacts on the bar 79, and that the rows or circles of contacts 61, 62, 63, 64 and 65 are not in engagement with the corresponding contact on the bar 79. It is the position of the various contacts in these rows or circles which make the different combinations possible in the different positions of the cents and dollar dials. It is understood, of course, that all of the contacts in a given row, as well as all of the rows of contacts are united electrically in that they are all connected with the common contact 76 on the cents wheel and 77 on the dollar wheel. As a matter of fact, the wheels might be made in any suitable form to give the combinations required. The arrangement of the contacts, both as to the number of rows, as well as the particular location of the contacts in the individual rows may be changed dependent upon the results desired. For instance, the arrangement as shown in Fig. 11 at the position X could be substituted for the arrangement at X on the cents dial of Fig. 3, in that instead of having the contact 66 represent the 25 piece, single contacts, as in Fig. 11, might be provided in the rows 65, 64 and 63, so that instead of indicating one 25 piece, the contacts will indicate two dimes and a nickel. Likewise, at the point Y in Fig. 3, the contact on the row 67 could be eliminated and contacts placed in the rows 66, 65, 64 and 63, as shown at Y in Fig. 11, this giving, instead of a 50 piece, as in Fig. 3, a 25 piece, two dimes fastened into the side of the wheel.

and a nickel. Likewise, in the position Z, Fig. 3, the contact in the row 66 could be removed, and instead thereof, contacts placed in the rows 65, 64 and 63, as in the positions shown in Fig. 11, thus instead of representing a 50 and a 25 piece, a 50 piece, two dimes and a nickel would be represented.

I have shown a circular dial merely as illustrating the principle of my invention, but it is evident that as long as the denomination contacts are brought so as to engage the corresponding magnet contacts on the bar 79, it is immaterial whether I use a dial or some other equivalent means of bringing about this selective combination.

The electro-magnet shown in Fig. 10, has a U-shaped iron frame 82, in which is rigidly held an armature 83. The armature 83 has an opening therethrough, through which passes a rod 84. On the opposite end of the rod 84 is a movable armature 85 into which the rod 83 is threaded. When themagnet is energized the armature 85 moves to the left and carries with it the rod 84 to which is attached the member 86 which is suitably connected to the push-rod 52, and actuates the same to set the do 50 in operative posi-' tion. The rod 84 has a lock-nut 87 on the screw-threaded end thereof so that the length of stroke of the rod may be varied or adjusted from time to time as the case may require.

In Fig. 7, I have shown an enlarged detail of one of the indicator wheels. All of the indicator wheels are identical, and therefore a description of one will suffice for all. Each wheel has a radial groove formed in the side, as shown at 88, in Figs. 5 and 7. There is also acircular groove 89 formed in the side of the wheel and in the groove 89 is placed a band spring 90 with one end In the groove 88 is placeda pin 91, one end of which is engaged by the spring 90 and the other end of which engages the shaft 1 which has a longitudinal inset 92,. whereby a shoulder 93 is formed on the shaft.

From the foregoing, it will be evident that the wheel may be moved on the shaft freely in the direction of the arrow, as shown in Fig.7, but the same cannot be given a complete revolution in the opposite direction by reason of the fact that the pin 91 will engage with the shoulder 93. The prime object of this construction is to form a ready means of placing all of the indicator wheels back to zero by revolving the shaft 1 in a counterclockwise direction (as shown in Fig. 7) by means of the han dle 94, as shown in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 2 is shown a motor 95 having a shaft 96 with a worm 97 thereon. This shaft is suitably journaled as at 98. The worm 97 engages a worm Wheel 99 loosely mounted on the shaft 15. This arrange ment is shown in detail in Fig. 8. Rigidly mounted to the shaft 15 is a collar 100 having pins 101 placed longitudinally therein.

'The worm-wheel 99 likewise has pins 102 placed longitudinally therein. There is a collar 103 loosely mounted on the shaft .15. This collar 103 has four cam grooves 10a placed 90 apart on the side thereof and arranged to engage at certain times with the ends of the pins 102 in the worm wheel. On the other side of the collar 103 are provided two holes into which the pins 101 loosely fit. Therefore, the collar 103 isarranged so as to be freely slidable on the shaft 15 and pins 101. Mounted under compression and around the shaft 15 and beneath the collars 100 and 103 is a coiled spring 105. On the collar 103 is a radial pin 106, shown in dotted lines in Figs. 8 and 9. This pin 106 engages an arm 107 which is constantly held in contact with the collar 103 by means of the spring 108. This arm 107 has a cam surface 109 on one side of the end thereof which engages the pin 106, as shown in Fig. 8, to move the collar 103 out of contact with the pins 102 on the worm wheel. l/Vhen it is' desired for the collar 103 to engage the pins 102, or, in other words, when a selective combination has been Set up by the dials, the button 81 is pressed, which operates the lever 80 to which is attached an arm 110, as shown in Fig. 2. Pivoted to the arm 110 is an arm 111,which arm 111 is fulcrumed at 112 in the standard 113, as shown in Fig. 9. When the arm 110. is pressed downwardly, the arm 107 is moved to the right, as shown in Fig. 9, so that it clears the end of the pin 106, thereby permitting the spring 105 to throw the collar 103 to the right, as shown in Fig. 8, so that it will engage the pins 102 mounted in the worm wheel, thereby causing shaft-15 to revolve with the worm wheel 99. The arms 107 and 111 are connected so that they move together. I

As shown in Fig. 12, some of the arms mounted on the shaft 15 are bifurcated, or having two engaging portions 114 and 115. The arms 17, 18, 25, 26, 30 and 31 are double arms, such as that shown in Fig. 12. This type of arm is used when it is desired to count up or indicate two of a given denomination, such, for instance, as two pennies as in the case of the arms 17 and 18; or two one dollars as in the case of the arms 25 and 26. In the case of the arms 25 and 26 indicating two one dollars, it is underindicator would 'mean one two dollar bill as distinguished from two silver dollars.

The operation of my machineis as-follows: Current is first turned on by switch 137 and the motor is started. The dials ordinarily rest at the zero position, which position is indicated on the drawings, Fig. 3. After the dials have been set to the desired position, such as that shown in Fig. 3, by the handles 138 and 139 the button 81 is pressed. This raises the contact block 79, closing the circuits through the magnets .130, 129,128, 127, 124 on the dollar dial and magnets 123, 122 and 51 on the cents dial. These magnets draw up their armatures,

each one forcing its respective dog in behind the shonlder 49 on the corresponding arms 32, 33, 39, 40, 43, 44, 45 and 46. Im-

mediately after the contacts have been closed and the dogs placed in position in response. to the magnets energized by the closing of the selected contacts, the collar 103 is released by the arm 107 moving out beyond the end of pin 106 and the spring 104 moves this collar so that the shaft 15 is operatively connected with the worm wheel 99 which is operated by the motor. As the shaft 15 revolves, the various arms 16 to 31 engage the respective indicator operating arms 32 to 47. Those arms in which the dog 50 has been placed in position by the energization of the corresponding magnet when moved by the corresponding arm on the shaft 15 will move the corresponding indicator wheel one or two steps dependent upon whether the'arms 16 to 31 are single or double arms. In all cases where the magnets have not been energized the corresponding arms 32 to 47 will be moved, but the indicator will not be operated as the dog 50 in those cases has not been moved into position. When the shaft 15 has made a complete revolution, the arm 132 engages an arm 133 rigidly mounted on the shaft on which all of the dogs 54 are mounted, thereby rocking the shaft 55 so that the pins 136 engage the side of the grooves 135 thereby releasing these dogs from the puslrarms of the electrokmagnets, thereby permitting the dogs'50 to fall out of engagement with the indicator arms, thereby operatively disconnecting all of the indicator operating arms. As the shaft 15approaches the end of its revolution, the pin 106 on the collar 103 engages with the cam surface 109011 the end ofthe member 107 and throws the collar to the left, as shown in Fig. 8, thereby disconnecting the shaft 15 from the worm wheel 99 and stopping the machine, whereby the shaft 15 is permitted to stop.

If, after setting up the dial and pressing the button 81 down so as to energize any of the magnets, it is discovered that the wrong figures have been set up on the dials, the mistake may be easily corrected by opcrating the handle 134 fastened on to the end of the shaft 55. This acts to throw out the dogs 54 on the push arms, thereby permitting the dogs 50 to fall out of contact with the arms 32 to 47, the same acting in the same manner as the trip 132 and 133. After the preceding operation has taken place, the indicators will show, three twenty dollars; one ten dollar; one five dollar and one one dollar; 1 fifty-cent piece; 1 twentyfive cent piece and one penny. If the dials are set so that the position A in the dollar dial is horizontal at the right of the center of the wheel, and the position A on the cents dial is in horizontal position at the left of the center of the wheel, the value represented would be $38.93. If after these dials are thus set up the button 81 is pressed, the solenoids 129, 128, 127, 126 and 124 of the dollar dial and the solenoids 123, 122, 121, 119, 118 and 51 of the cents dial will be ener- 'zed. The mechanical operation here is identical with that already explained and need not be repeated. After this operation has been completed, the indicators will show the following numbers of the following clenominations: Four twenty dollars; two ten dollars; two five *dollars; one two dollar; two one dollars; two fifty-cent pieces; two twenty-five cent pieces; one ten-cent piece; one five cent piece and four pennies, making a total in dollars and cents of $115.69, equal to $7 6.7 6 plus $38.93.
